The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is calling for sustained efforts to strengthen Ghana\u2019s lending environment, stressing that a stable and transparent system is essential to driving private sector growth and job creation.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb<\/a> Business on October 8, 2025, the IFC\u2019s Senior Country Manager for Ghana and Liberia, Kyle Kelhofer, underscored the need to enhance the lending environment to benefit both financial institutions and businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy providing more finance, and by helping those with great ideas get more finance, we’re just trying to create an environment to help Ghana create more and better jobs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He emphasised that financing must be made available to entrepreneurs and businesses with promising ideas, while also highlighting the importance of reducing risks for lenders in the face of everyday business challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so that\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to do\u2014de-risk the business environment here. We want to have a system in place such that when you hit a bump in the road and you can\u2019t pay me next month, but we\u2019re pretty sure you can pay me by the end of the year, you\u2019re less risky as a lender,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
